Bad Dreams & Frostbite
Summary
The American dream; as long as you keep dreaming.
In the song "Bad Dreams & Frostbite", written by me, I explain the typical melodrama of expression and freedom. A piece that talks about a girl, in a most cheerful way underlined with the reality clutter of stress, heart break, and disorder in a way we can relate to but that doesn't stand out in the American Dream. 'Free bird' as a metaphor, along in the painting on my shoulder, a bird that could be free but is leashed through love and light as we keep the world moving; flowing off of good energy. We could expend every pollutant into the atmosphere and could still take care of a bright soul that everyone is a part of. The American Dream has always been, and always will be the dream in the brightest branches of this collective. They say a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link; A community is as bright as it's brightest individual. In the painting, standing in flames represents an eminent hell. To live up to God's standards means to show thee, thou can take the association to any negative stimulus and still manifest a good intention through being and spirit, but not pride. The music, love, religion, and happiness all fought for through the pain caused by capitalism, economy, and the government. Ironic as those are constructs built from the collective that all dream as well. Bad dreams for the reality of death and poverty, frostbite for the bitter cold of suffer; under the fantasy section of this entire dream. <3
Bad Dreams & Frostbite Lyrics
You girl, make me feel something
On Earth, the taste of how you look
Free bird, don’t tell me not to frown
Somewhere in line I fell to drown I fell to die
Because I’m losing my mind I’m losing the fight
In love behind more than enough
Because I’m losing my mind I’m losing the fight
Can’t run or hide
I’ve got bad dreams and frostbite
Come on over and talk to me
Come on over while we are free
Come on over and talk to me
Come on over while we are free
Come on over and talk to me
Cuz’ we all want to be a community
Come on over and talk to me
Cuz’ we all want to be a community
Yeah girl, you make me feel something
Under the top of the universe look
Deeper don’t tell me not to frown
Run from my only sigh I failed to fly I fell to die
Time is all I take
Thinking myself right out of this place
Fight the nuclear race
Fight the nuclear race
You girl, make me feel something
On Earth, the taste of how you look
Free bird, don’t tell me not to frown
Somewhere in line I feel to drown I fell to die
So come on over and talk to me
Come on over while we are free
Come on over and talk to me
Come on over while we are free
Come on over and talk to me
Cuz’ we all want to be a community
Come on over and talk to me
Cuz’ we all want to be a community
